It feels wrong, somehow, and that feeling of wrongness-but-I-can't-explain it is what prompts a national dialogue, but what Dr. Anderson really did that causes the consternation isn't prescribing the Adderall but saying out loud that it isn't for ADHD-- breaking the unspoken rules of the system by telling the press what none of use dare say even to our patients: that we're not medicating a diagnosis, we're using a diagnosis to justify the medication we have to use anyway because we have nothing else to do but give out medications.

Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
